the vwa+ virulence factor of yersiniae: the molecular basis of the attendant nutritional requirement for ca++.	the plague v antigen is a cytoplasmic 90,000-dalton peptide, and the w antigen is a primarily extracellular 145,000-dalton lipoprotein of unknown origin. wild-type yersiniae undergo restriction of cell division when producing these plasmid-mediated virulence antigens (vwa+) during cultivation at 37 c in ca++-deficient media. in yersinia pestis both restriction and synthesis of v and w antigens are potentiated in this environment by elevated mg++ and prevented by ca++ or exogenous nucleoside trip ...	1983	6195719
evaluation of the updated ms-2 bacterial identification system in comparison with the api 20e system.	the recently updated ms-2 bacterial identification system software (abbott laboratories, diagnostic division, irving, tex.) was compared with the original ms-2 bacterial identification software and the api 20e, using 968 strains of enterobacteriaceae. the updated ms-2 software correctly identified 94.4% of the isolates tested. api 20e and the original ms-2 software correctly identified 91 and 85.3% of the strains, respectively. ms-2 responses were considered to be equivocal (needing additional t ...	1983	6350342
ecology of plague in africa: response of indigenous wild rodents to experimental plague infection.	the mastomys natalensis species complex, subdivided into genetically distinct species having diploid chromosome numbers 2n = 32 and 2n = 36, is a reservoir for several zoonoses including lassa fever and plague. this report describes a study to determine whether these sibling species and three other rodent species have different potential as reservoirs for plague. it was found that m. natalensis (2n = 32) was significantly more resistant to experimental plague infection (50% survived inoculation ...	1983	6345015
yersiniosis in a breeding unit of macaca fascicularis (cynomolgus monkeys).	2 outbreaks of acute fatal enteric disease involving 20 animals in a breeding unit of approximately 200 cynomolgus monkeys were diagnosed as yersiniosis; yersinia pseudotuberculosis was isolated from 50% of the clinically affected animals. post-mortem findings included enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes with some enterocolitis and necrotic foci in liver and spleen. approximately 7% of clinically healthy monkeys were found to be excreting y. pseudotuberculosis and a further 5% y. enterocolitica. rec ...	1983	6345931
[pathogenic properties of yersinia pseudotuberculosis in different biological models].	the study of the action of y. pseudotuberculosis introduced into the cavity of the ligated intestinal loop of a rabbit, into the stomach of 2- to 4-day-old suckling mice or injected intradermally has made it possible to establish the importance of the invasive and toxic activity of this microbe in the pathogenesis of pseudotuberculosis infection. the lesion of the small intestine develops due to the penetration of the bacteria into the mucous membrane and the combined action of the microbial cel ...	1983	6349189
yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection in children, resembling izumi fever and kawasaki syndrome.	yersinia pseudotuberculosis infection was diagnosed in 12 children on the basis of recovery of the organism from stool cultures and a 4-fold or greater titer change in agglutinating antibody. eight of the 12 yersinia isolates were recovered from stool cultures only after cold enrichment. clinical findings in 50% or more of patients were fever, rash, diarrhea, desquamation, strawberry tongue, vomiting, red and cracked lips, abdominal pain, arthralgias, hepatomegaly and conjunctivitis. the patient ...	1983	6344044
[use of the keratoconjunctival test for determining the virulence of the causative agent of pseudotuberculosis].	when tested in guinea pigs, y. pseudotuberculosis strains, serovar i (25 strains) and serovar v (1 strain), were found for the first time to be capable of causing keratoconjunctivitis in the animals; the most virulent of these strains caused progressive conjunctivitis and keratitis with generalized infection. the minimum infective dose was 10(4) for conjunctivitis and 10(6) for keratitis. the studied y. pseudotuberculosis strains, serovars o3 and o9, were found to be incapable of causing conjunc ...	1983	6346760
